Very good Newsteel here. Always interesting to learn stuff I havent learned before! The dedication of Ludice Illinois is first, I don't know if that town still exists? The Australian War clips were interesting.. Didn't know the Japs were snooping down there.. Canadian lumber story.. that's a LOT of wood :) The Rodeo story. Found it interesting that the narrator said "we're here at something the Americans call a Rodeo! Where was this newsreel made? The narrator certainly sounds American. Great clip about Chinese soldiers fighting for their country. Another "Yay America" as the introduction of the Jeep is shown. Again, some third party description about American no-how is heard. Interesting.
